Samsung are pitiful at updating.

That's why people put custom ROMs on their phones eventually.

Don't sweat it manfred. I don't read that "tech" page and I'm sure I'm not alone.

FYI, Windows 10 and drivers work just fine on my Samsung Series 5 Ultra.

Note: the article deals with Windows 10 on Samsung computers not phones (do they even produce Windows-based phones? not sure)

Unbelievable IMHO that a company the size of Samsung can fail like this on Windows 10 driver updates. Especially because they do not write most of these drivers themselves, they come from the companies they buy the graphics, audio etc. chips and the mainboard chipsets from.

I've just upgraded my Filipino colleague's Samsung notebook without any problems. Where there's a will, there's a bush...

Ask ten different technicians and you get 25 different opinions.

Don't install their text into your brain. Give it a try and if it doesn't work you can always roll back to Stonehenge.
